Great Expectations

The past few days have been a true lesson in expectations.

1.) Realistic. - I don't know if I'll ever be able to swim after work. I tend to be exhausted and drained. This is especially true if I run in the morning. I think I might try to be more realistic in what I expect of myself.
2.) Exceeding - OMG! This morning's bike ride was great! (read insane) I'd emailed my tri club news group for other slow riders to ride with. I'd specified that I ride 11-14 mph. Well, I recieved a number of responses and went out today with a really nice woman. The only problem was that she rides at a 15-16 mph pace. OMG!!! I actually kept up with her until she started talking about how we needed to "push" ourselves. After a brief ( very very very) brief stint at 17 mph (YIKES!) I had to slow down. When I ended, I was so tired I barely made it up the stairs and I feel like I have crushed glass in my thigh muscles. But hey... I did it!!! Woo hooooo!

Tomorrow, run and no swim.
